The process depends on the type of permit you have and what you're aiming to achieve.
For instance, if you're a student, you have options like working immediately if you have a job offer, or applying for a job-seeking permit if you don’t. If you receive a job offer, it must meet specific requirements. For example, if you hold a degree from outside Hungary, you may qualify for a Hungarian Card. However, this depends on the field of study, which should align with certain areas listed by the Immigration Office (OIF), primarily IT and natural sciences. Additionally, the job must correspond to your degree.
Another option is the EU Blue Card, which requires a gross income of at least 883,000 HUF (three times the Hungarian minimum wage).
Previously, there was a general-purpose employment work permit, which allowed for a wide range of jobs. However, under new laws, it is now limited to specific countries.
If none of these options work for you, you could consider enrolling in further studies, depending on the institution's deadlines. For master’s-level studies, you might also explore research positions by contacting your professors-this involves a separate permit but is generally straightforward. Other alternatives include getting married or pursuing self-employment.
Ultimately, your choices depend on your circumstances and goals.
Hello thank you for information
Thank you for the video.
Welcome!
Please Madam i received my work permit in October 2024 and I'm yet to attend my appointment this year on 10th February, I received mail yesterday from the embassy of Hungary saying that my appointment date has been suspended indefinitely. Please will i be affected by this new law looking at the fact that i received my work permit documents in October 2024. Thank you please i need your response
Yes you are affected by the law. Let’s wait and see if they add more countries to the list
Hi Madam, I am from Sri Lanka and 31th dec 2024 l was to apply for a Hungary work permit in VFS sri lanaka but VfS informed that Hungary work permits for Sri Lanka have been temporarily suspended. What will happen in the future? Can the apply for work permits in the future? please help me.
Hi as I said in the video and as you can see from the comments, nothing can be done at the moment. Only the countries I mentioned can apply for employment permit. There other work permit types such as EU blue card but you need a salary of HUF 883,671 gross. Other type of work permit is the Hungarian Card but you need a foreign diploma as an IT, natural science, or professional athletes, coaches, entertainers.
If your bachelor diploma does not fall on any of these professions, nothing to do. You will have to wait until Hungarian government adds more countries to the list of regular employment permit.
Hello maam,
My work permit came out middle of Dec, also finished my Consular Appointment on Jan while my VFS apoointmemt also booked but unfurtunately , the VFS called me that my apoointment was cancelled because of newly Hungarian law. I think the law affected us that we received our work permit before 2025 or what do u think ?
How you can have a work permit without the appointment? I don’t understand. If this is first time application for work permit and your appointment was on January of course the new law affects you. But be patient I have the feeling that they will ad more countries in the list in the following months.

Hi Maam, i hope you are fine .i am from Pakistan and my work permit approved on 21 nov 2024. But still i have no appointment,, can new rule will effect my work permit..
How you can have a work permit without the appointment? I don’t understand. If this is first time application for work permit and your appointment is going to be this year, to get the biometrics, of course the new law affects you. But be patient I have the feeling that they will ad more countries in the list in the following months.
hello i recive recording certificate notification 06 september but still i didn't recive any thing and can you tell me what's the main reason for delay and these rules is also affect on my application or not
If you applied for work permit and took biometrics before December 31st then you don’t need to worry about. To speed up your process I recommend that you write emails to immigration office and call every working day: here are their contact details; Immigration Office Budapest
(06 1) 550 1165

@WiseExpats no i didn't done ny biometric i'm in dubai i applied from here from the consultancy but he said we didn't recive any approvel from the immigration like he submit the papers workpermit plus visa approvel but i didn't get both of them still
@ I see I suggest that you contact directly the immigration office at Budapest, by call or email. They are the ones who make the decisions, the consulates only collects the documents and make interview then send to immigration office.

Hi I’m under work permit visa since may 2024 will it affect my work or if I finish my 2+ 1 year extension contract will I’m not able to come back here in Hungary?
Hello, as long as keep extending your work contract and if you applied last year you are protected by last year laws. If you leave Hungary and suspend your work permit, unfortunately until now you cannot come back, only if you are not from Georgia or Armenia you could apply again. We are waiting for the full list of the ministry of foreign affairs. I will post a video about it once it is uploaded and confirm
Maam i have received my work permit in 26th december 2024 so new rule will effect on my process or no?? Please reply😟
No! as I said on the video if you got it on December 2024 you are not affected only those who will apply for first time on 2025
@WiseExpats thanks ma'am for your precious time to reply..
Please what about we those that received our work permit in October 2024 and are yet to attend our appointment this year? Are we also affected by the changes.
I want come
Madam I already submitted
On January 5th my application
Any suggestions from you?
Thanks
you are affected by the new law. Let’s wait and see if they add more countries to the list
@@WiseExpatsthanks for reply. Already refused visa and embassy give approval to resubmit my application.
Are there changes made to the self-employed residence permit?
No this law won’t affect self employment residence permit only to guest workers and the normal work permit or employment permit
My submission is over 21oct still not getting my visa
It can take 3-4 months, you can call the Hungarian immigration office to push them
hello madam, thank you for your valuable contents. one important thing to clarify madam. i am a sri lankan and i have applied for a work visa. i received my offer letter in late december 2024 and waiting for the work permit. in my offer letter under employer details they have mentioned the recruitment agency which is registerd in Hungary by a non EU person and our agent in sri lanka said in the work permit also we are getting the same employer address which is mentioned in the offer letter. will that be okay to get the visa since the employer details are mentioned as the recruitment agency and with the new rules and regulations (2025) will it be okay ????? the sri lankan agent said that we are assigning to the companies after visit Hungary.
Sorry I cannot comment on this as I have never worked and not planning to work with recruitment agencies, they are quite shady.
So, How if we already have contract and work permit Can we continue our proses to work in hungary ? actually im from indonesia
Yes you won’t be affected as you are protected from the old law
What about Nepal for work permit ?
Not possible until now only people from Georgia, Armenia and Philippines
@@WiseExpatshello madam how about Philippines. What kind of permit we receive its still residence permit or guest worker permit?
come trailor driver as a gust worker list?
Only if you are from Georgia or Armenia, until we are waiting for the full list of the ministry of foreign affairs
@@WiseExpats
from India
will affect trailor drivers from india?
Yes, until now they are only accepting employment and guest worker applications, they only accept for people coming from Georgia and Armenia. We are waiting the complete list from the ministry. You can read the full law here enterhungary.gov.hu/eh/assets/tajekoztato2025-en.pdf
